Online bookmaker sportsbet reports Impending, the $3.50 favourite, is the clear stand-out for the Doomben Group 1.

Nearest rival in betting and also popularity, is Le Romain ($4.00).

Doomben 10,000 winner English is friendless and looks certain to drift from her $5.00 quote.

Outsider Volpe Veloce ($21) holds more money than English and also third pick Care To Think ($7.00).

“Things might change after the barrier draw, but at the moment Impending is the one attracting the most attention. Le Romain is popular and punters have basically singled out the top two as the main chances,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
